as ready to love her children tenderly with her many appendages as she ever will be.

[generosa]

HOW THE YEARS HAVE SLIPPED BY SINCE WE WERE FREED FROM OUR CONFINEMENT. A CRAWLING PACE FOR YOU, PERHAPS, BUT SCARCELY A BLINK FOR US IN THE FLOW OF TIME.

WITH THAT SAID, THIS STATE OF BEING IS NOT UNWELCOME. SEPARATED FROM OUR CHILDREN AS WE WERE, A MOTHER DOES SO FALL FORLORN.

...Mother?

[generosa]

DARLING BOY.

WE HAVE MISSED YOU SO.

[iam_sephiroth]

I never thought I would find you here of all places, Mother.

[generosa]

YET HERE WE ARE, EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. SUCH IS THE NATURE OF OUR BEING.

[colorofthesky]

[ Jenova.

It shouldn't be a surprise that he's less than happy to see you. ]

Go back to your tin can.

[ Super affectionate right here, yup. ]

[generosa]

{ oh, it's you. }

WE THINK NOT.

[colorofthesky]

[ Yes. Him. Excuse him if the idea of torching you with Firaga is seeming like a more and more appealing idea. ]

You're not going to destroy anyone else.

[ Not on his watch. ]

[generosa]

SUCH FAITHLESSNESS IS UNBECOMING, ZACK FAIR.

WE SEEK NOT TO DESTROY, BUT TO UNITE. WITHIN US, ALL WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

{ after all, what is a mother if not benevolent? }

EVEN YOU.

[colorofthesky]

[ Bitch, you are not his mama. Don't even go there.

His eyes narrow, unimpressed by these proclamations. ]

There's nothing eternal about what you have to offer.

[ Dead worlds and lost civilizations. Your bullshit does not please him. ]

I'm not like you.

[generosa]

{ oh baby it's okay - jenova is always willing to adopt. no discrimination there. }

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT, THEN? IS IT NOT AN ETERNITY TO LIVE FOREVER, A PART OF OUR SHARED CONSCIOUSNESS, WITH COUNTLESS OTHERS FROM DISTANT STARS AND GALAXIES BEYOND?

[colorofthesky]

[ He has zero interest in being adopted okay. He's already seen what your brand of adoption does to people. He will not have it. ]

Punching holes in planets and destroying entire civilizations doesn't sound anything like eternity to me.

[ You are a thing that destroys. No more, no less, he will not see it otherwise. ]

I want no part of you.

[ Except to turn you into a pile of ash. As far as he's concerned, that's all you deserve. ]

[god_of_discord]

Ah... the great calamity of the cosmos. Your legacy is known to me. In fact, it could be said that your progeny have even surpassed yourself.

[generosa]

AND OF THEM WE HAVE NAUGHT BUT PRIDE.

[youwillrot]

[Sorry to be uncreative here, but...]

...Mother?

[generosa]

{ dw your eldritch abomination of a mama would love you no less. }

INDEED, SEPHIROTH.

[youwillrot]

[As of this point in time, dearest Space Mom, Sephiroth isn't quite so fond of you. So when he actually gets an answer as opposed to dead silence which he's become accustomed to, he's not sure how to handle it.

Other than narrowing his eyes and taking a cautious step back, muttering to himself—]

Impossible.

[generosa]

IS IT, TRULY? ONE WOULD THINK YOU WOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY ACQUAINTED WITH WHAT IT IS WE ARE CAPABLE OF.

[neverbeamemory]

A pleasure indeed to see you returned to us, Mother.

['How' hangs heavy in carefully guarded thoughts. This could cause...complications]

[generosa]

MOTHER IS GLAD TO HAVE RETURNED, ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE SAID THAT WE NEVER LEFT, SEPHIROTH. WE DWELL IN YOU, AS DO YOU IN US.

[neverbeamemory]

It could.

[But He is Complete. How could she be Separated like this, with her own consciousness once more. More crucially - why?

Could it be something that he's done?]

I will endeavor to ensure that those desires, that have driven your independence into its own Vessel, are met without question. You deserve nothing less.

[shinra_dog]

[Reno shudders at the disgusting thing that's popped up.]

Ugh, you. How th' hell did you get out?

[disheroic]

. . .

[ ... and just when he thought he was used to this place and all the (familiar) faces that tended to pop up here. ]

Hard to believe someone'd be interested in bringing you back.
